Let's go." And away bile to the flving ficld, with an es- Cort of motorcycle police clearing 14e way through city traffic. The air dash to Quebec with anti- | pucumonia scrum for Floyd Bennett | was of record-making speed, with snow and squalls failing to halt the | redoubtable Lindy. But fate decrced | that all would be in vain. Bennett died this morning, a hero of the first rank in the annals of aviation, a man who with Byrd flew across the | Pole, and whose fatal illness devel- éped as he tried to reach the Bremen at Greenly Tsland. THE HOOVER AND SMITH BAND WAGO! { It seemed strange that of the three [ work, It is only routine water board operations, but at present the board 1s confronted with the construction of important betterments, and it Is not believed by Mayor Paonessa that the former city engineer is able to supervise this fafr to Mr. Wil- liams to add that he and his friends do not agree with this thesis. When successor is chosen the salary out- lay probably will be considerably | more than is paid to the present in- cumbent, which lends color to the claim the change of engineers is not due to economy. One naturally pauses to reflect why Mr. Williams was made water works engineer in the first place if | | there was any likelihood of his be- ing unable to swing the improvement job. This leads up to one of the in- tricacies of political maneuvering, however, which leaves each citizen to his own conclusion. To the Re- publican the entire business is one of “politics;” to the Democrat it is cne of efficiency only. It may be natural that the former city engineer would prefer to try his mettle at supervising the new water improvements. It he were allowed to do so and it turned out to be suc- cessful it would mean a good record for Mr. Williams. Mayor Paonessa, however, 1is not inclined to take chances; the mayor isn't certain whether the former city cngineer could meet the requirements and dolbtless does not think it proper that the city should accept the risk of imperfect supervision of the work in hand merely to give an individual an opportunity to show his skill. In this case, one in which economy not an issue, one must feel satis- fied with the judgment of the mayor., After all, it would result in severe criticism of the mayor’s administra- tion should the big work ahcad be bungled. This, of course, is not say- ing it would be bungled, but is merely the mayor's motives. ZONING CHA 5 2 | Nine zone changes are being dis- cussed by the city plan commission and it is notable that virtually all of them refer to the desire to in- crease the commercial boundarics of the city. Such efforts are natural in a growing community. If zoning is to surviv permanent benefit to the city it is to it with the and be a mainfain using the term in analyzing | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1928, areas are not fitted for gasoline | taxes because a large number of the motorists rarely use the country | highways, no longer seems to hold. | States have found 4 new way to | get the money and they think they | need it. Of the state possessing gasoline taxes, only 13 have as low |a rate as two cents a gallon. Al-!

No state so far has re- duced its gas tax; a large propor- tion, including Connecticut, have | raised it. The trend is upward, not downward. | FRANCE REMAINS CAUTIOUS Although the French elections are not yet over—a sort of run-off be- ing due to take place next Sunday —the victory of Premier Poincare is clear-cut and decisive, and what- ever supplementary voting takes | place next Sunday will be to deter- mine the details of French repre- | [sentation that according to the pe- | | culiar French system still nceds straightening out, The vietory was predicated financlal stability. The crisis of 1926 | was recent enough to cause French- | men to look with concern at any attempt to meddle with the financial fabric, such as a defeat of Poincare undoubtedly would have bhrought with it, In 1926 the franc had fallen | as low as 240 to the pound, and the | Cartel des Gauches, which had been | j vainly trying to save the frane, had ‘ lost the confidence of the country., | This lack of confidence at least has | been lasting enough to cause Poin- care, (he savior of the franc, to be | | regarded as the essential man at the | | head of the government during days | of intense financial reconstruction, Many a Frenchman who vot@l for | Poincare on Sunday probably did { not like some of his policies, but the majority of substantial citizens could not avoid regarding franc | tinkering with dismay. They had | enough of it. What has counted most for Poin- care has been that since 1926 the { budget has been balanced by means of increased taxcs, ndmlnlstruuwg economies and consolidation of the | debt; the value of the franc has| been increased from 248 per pound | i'o 124.3 per pound. When the budg- et was balanced in 1926 it was the ! first time this had been done since | upon | | expeditions based | tician: Shaking hands with the com- exploits are being bruited, and one reads almost dal't of aviators have ing succeeded in making long flights in various parts of the world.
